Armenian Opposition condemns army crimes
September 17, 2010 | 20:49
At the September 17 rally of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) in
Yerevan, the former military prosecutor of Armenia Gagik Jhangiryan
addressed the recent army incidents.
He particularly said: `The army is a most delicate subject for the
ANC. The ANC Leader is the founder of the Armenian army, and it is
under Ter-Petrosyan that the army was gaining its victories.
`For me the army is a most delicate subject, as I worked with the army
for ten years and know about progress in army construction and all the
aspects of army life. However, what we have been witnessing over
recent months sometimes defies imagination of even experienced people.
`I could never imagine that an Armenian soldier's dignity and life
might be so valueless that he would be regularly humiliated and beaten
up and get pleasure from it [the Youtube video is meant],' Jhangiryan
said. `It is criminal and permissiveness that is the real enemy,' he
said.
Jhangiryan linked the recent events with the March 1, 2008 tragedy. It
was because of permissiveness that the officer used arms against his
own people, `turning from a defender into a criminal in his mind.'
Jhangiryan stressed that the situation is so serious that even an
officer committed suicide as he is unable to bear the situation any
longer. `Barbarity and illiteracy! And commanders will go on murdering
Armenian soldiers, without even understanding the ban. It is because
this country is the property of khans, and commanders are slave
drivers. Who has seen slave drivers are banned from beating up the
khan's slaves?' Jhangiryan concluded.
